Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 472 Zhang Sui: The human heart is a magic mirror
Gongsun Zan stood on the city wall and watched Liu Bei leave the city gate, then he signaled the soldiers guarding the city to close the gate.

Liu Bei crossed the suspension bridge and looked back at Gongsun Zan.

Seeing Gongsun Zan waving at him, Liu Bei suddenly felt his eyes sore.

He saw a familiar figure standing next to Gongsun Zan.

Liu Deran.

A playmate of his in childhood.

He was poor in his early years and depended on his mother for support. Even his uncle was unwilling to pay attention to him.

Only Liu Deran took the initiative to find him to become a disciple of General Lu Zhi, and even brought him home.

Seeing that Liu Deran had no money, his father even helped him.

Thinking of the past with Liu Deran, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly became sore and tears rolled down like a flood.

He no longer shed tears.

Even in Xiaopei, where he was badly beaten by Lu Bu and Gao Shun, and his wife and children were even left in the city and captured by Lu Bu, he did not cry.

But now, he couldn't help crying out loud.

Gongsun Zan and Liu Deran on the city wall also shed tears when they heard Liu Bei's wailing.

Liu Deran waved his hands vigorously and said, "Xuan De, live well!"

Liu Bei didn't dare to look back. He could only continue riding forward while stammering in response.

Yuan Shao watched Liu Bei coming back from afar, listened to Liu Bei's crying, and squinted his eyes.

This Liu Bei is really disappointing.

He came to seek refuge with him, and he went out of the city ten miles to meet him.

If he had not recommended his eldest son as a filial and honest official and had not been his benefactor, would he have deserved such treatment?

Although he was treated so well by Gongsun Zan, he did not think of repaying the kindness and kept crying to Gongsun Zan.

If you are so reluctant to leave Gongsun Zan, then just join Gongsun Zan!

Liu Bei returned with his assassins and ten carriages.

Before he could get close to Yuan Shao, he was surrounded by dozens of Yuan Shao's personal guards.

Liu Bei dismounted and asked blankly, "What are you going to do?"

Two bodyguards jumped off their horses, grabbed Liu Bei's arms, and forced him towards Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei asked anxiously: "General, what crime have I committed?"

Behind Yuan Shao, a general shouted, "What crime have you committed? Liu Bei, you deserve to die!"

"Do you really think we are blind?"

"You were cuddling with Gongsun Zan on the city wall."

"Just one word from you, and Gongsun Zan will give you the heads of thousands of soldiers."

"This time the plan went wrong. Did you tip off the person?"

Liu Bei's face turned pale. He looked at Yuan Shao and said in a trembling voice, "General, is this how you look at me, Liu Bei?"

"I, Liu Bei, do have a close relationship with Brother Gongsun."

"But he and I are innocent!"

"When he sent his assassins to look for me, I brought them to look for you, General, and wanted to resign from the position of the commander of the front army. It was you who disagreed and said you believed—"

Liu Bei regretted the moment he said this.

Yuan Shao looked down at Liu Bei who was being held on the ground and said coldly, "Do you mean that I am ungrateful and have gone back on my word?"

Liu Bei lowered his head.

He remembered what Zhang Sui and Gongsun Zan had said just now.

He laughed out loud.

Yuan Shao said solemnly: "Why are you laughing?"

Liu Bei laughed so hard that his whole body shook.

After a while, he raised his head, his face full of determination and said: "Kill me if you want!"

"I, Liu Bei, walk straight and sit upright."

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and said: "You said it yourself--"

Zhang Sui, who was standing by, sighed as he watched Yuan Shao's two personal guards walk towards Liu Bei.

wipe!
Yuan Shao has become more and more confused in recent years.

I don't know if the previous poisoning incident burned his brain. In Liu Bei's situation, he even wanted to take action!

However, think about his attitude towards Tian Feng and Ju Shou, and his inconsistency towards himself.

Where is the spirit of a hegemon?

Zhang Sui dismounted from his horse and walked towards Liu Bei, saying, "The human heart is a mirror that reveals evil."

"Different people will see different results from Lord Xuande's actions."

"Those who are sentimental and righteous can see that he is sentimental and righteous, yet loyal."

"A vicious person, seeing his behavior, would think that he is ambitious and has evil intentions."

"But then again, if you are not a fool and really have the evil intention, you will not take the initiative to bear the heavy responsibility of getting the head back."

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Sui with a gloomy expression.

Zhang Sui stopped beside Liu Bei, glanced at everyone and said, "Ask yourself, if you were in collusion with Gongsun Zan, how dare you contact him so blatantly? And under the nose of your father-in-law?"

"If you have a clear conscience, then you will naturally do things that are upright."

"Lord Xuande is a gentleman."

"Now you want to kill a gentleman, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?"

Looking at Yuan Shao, Zhang Sui said: "Father-in-law, you are the ruler of Hebei."

"As the ruler of Hebei, you are wise and intelligent. How could you believe such slander?"

"Father-in-law, I think you are just joking with Xuande."

"Mr. Xuande is such a gentleman, he is exactly the talent that Hebei needs."

When Yuan Xi heard what Zhang Sui said, he also jumped off his horse and stood on the other side of Liu Bei and said, "Father, I don't think there is anything wrong with Lord Xuande!"

Xun Chen exhaled, rode forward, and whispered: "My lord, calm him down as soon as possible! Although I know you are angry, this is not the time to vent. There is nothing wrong with Lord Xuande's actions."

Yuan Shao then laughed a few times, got off his horse, walked towards Liu Bei, signaled his soldiers to leave, and helped Liu Bei up, saying, "Lord Xuande, are you scared?"

"I was just jealous and envious, so I scared you on purpose just now."

"Lord Xuande is truly a gentleman among men. He can get along well with anyone."

"I also want to have a deep relationship with you, Lord Xuande, like a brother."

Liu Bei lowered his head and said hurriedly, "I dare not. General, you are the lord of Hebei, and I am just a general. But, General, don't worry, I, Liu Bei, will not do those despicable things."

"Brother Gongsun is already at the end of his rope, and I won't be stupid enough to go against the will of heaven."

"I, Liu Bei, don't have that ability."

Yuan Shao patted Liu Bei on the shoulder and said, "Yes, Gongsun Zan is beyond saving."

"Lord Xuande, you must work hard and strive for more merits so that I can reward you."

"Lord Xuande, I have always believed that you would be a pillar of Hebei!"

After saying this, he glanced at everyone and said, "Don't misunderstand Lord Xuande again! If I listen to anyone's nonsense again, I won't forgive him!"

Looking at the carriage again, Yuan Shao walked over and said in a trembling voice: "Come here, bury these soldiers properly."

"They died for the greater good of our country and deserve to be remembered forever."

Everyone stepped forward.

Liu Bei stood there, looking at the generals surrounding Yuan Shao and surrounding the carriage, each of them crying sadly. Liu Bei shook his head.

Who of these people really cares about the life and death of others?
Not to mention, this is just a group of dead soldiers.

Looking at Yuan Shao hugging the shaft of the carriage and crying out of breath, Liu Bei laughed at himself.

Feeling a gaze coming towards him, Liu Bei looked over.

It was Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui and Liu Bei looked at each other and then looked away.

Liu Bei thought of the two things Zhang Sui told him that night.

I didn’t really believe it before.

Now it seems that it is true.

Liu Bei was extremely envious.

So young, yet has such courage, martial arts skills and eyesight.

No wonder there is such success.
